As a result of his defeat at the hands of [[Kirby]] and friends, Magolor has been banished to the deepest depths of Another Dimension and stripped of most of his powers. Unbeknownst to him, the [[Master Crown]]'s remnants have also followed him. When Magolor wakes up, he finds himself significantly weakened. After he scouts the new area for a bit and defeats an ambush of enemies, Magolor is able to recover a [[Fruit Fragment]], which restores a bit of his magic.
As a result of his defeat at the hands of [[Kirby]] and friends, Magolor has been banished to the deepest depths of Another Dimension and stripped of most of his powers. Unbeknownst to him, the [[Master Crown]]'s remnants have also followed him. When Magolor wakes up, he finds himself significantly weakened. After he scouts the new area for a bit and defeats an ambush of enemies, Magolor is able to recover a [[Fruit Fragment]], which restores a bit of his magic.


The fragment teleports Magolor to an ominous place called the [[Ethereal Altar]], where it lights one of five torches, thus setting Magolor's goal in action: to reclaim all of the Fruit Fragments and recover the full power of his magic. Magolor explores four distinct dimensions, where he finds more Fruit Fragments by defeating elemental bosses. After all five torches at the Ethereal Altar are lit, the fragments merge to form [[Gem Apple|a familiar-looking red fruit]] — but before Magolor can retrieve it, the remnants of the Master Crown coalesce into [[Crowned Doomer]], which consumes the fruit. Magolor destroys this Doomer, but with the Ethereal Altar in ruins, the Master Crown once again emerges and possesses the red fruit to form [[Master Crown#As a boss|a demonic tree]]. After Magolor weakens the crown, he pulls out a sword from the rubble and transforms it into his own [[Ultra Sword]], atoning for his misdeeds and seemingly destroying the crown for good.

With a small sapling left from the tree's defeat, Magolor comes across a portal that allows him to escape this dimension. The portal sends him and the sapling to [[Dream Kingdom|a parallel universe]], which also changes Magolor's outfit to a new one consisting of green and white. When Magolor comes across a castle town, he plants the sapling in the town square, allowing it to begin growing into [[Gem Apple|a fruit-bearing tree]]. Finally, he sets up [[Magolor's Shoppe|shop]], happily starting a new life in this alternate world for a time. It is implied through some of Magolor's extra dialogue in Extra Mode<ref>''"Truth be told, I want to hear the screams of every living being in the universe... Screams of JOY, that is, as they visit my very own amusement park! It'd have all kinds of surprises! But I'd have to work suuuper hard to become the manager of an amusement park like that. Hmmm.

I could sell lots of different items..."'' <small>—[[Magolor]], in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''</small></ref> that later, after the events of the [[Team Kirby Clash (series)|''Team Kirby Clash'' games]], Magolor would use the capital he earned from the shop to return to Popstar and build [[Merry Magoland]].

Magolor's goal throughout this mode is to recover his lost power and eventually find his way home. As such, all of the stages in Magolor Epilogue take place in disparate dimensions, similar to the stages in [[Heroes in Another Dimension]] from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

There are 19 main stages across the four dimensions comprising the Magolor Epilogue, along with 14 bonus stages (two of which must be unlocked). Most of the main stages keep [[score]] in the form of [[Magic Point]]s, which are earned by defeating enemies or finding them in various places in stages. Additional Magic Points may be earned by scoring "combos" on enemies, with each additional hit adding one count to the combo. At the end of each stage, the game will present the total number of Magic Points earned. If applicable, the game awards a [[medal]] based on the result, similar to the scoring system for stages in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''. Once Magolor gains enough Magic Points, he can spend them from the "[[Magolor's Magical Skills]]" menu to upgrade his abilities. If he wants to learn new skills and attacks, he needs to find the Fruit Fragments scattered around the realms, which are collected from bosses in a similar way to the ship parts of the [[Lor Starcutter]] in the Main Mode. Collecting the Fruit Fragments from all four dimensions unlocks the final stage, accessible from the Ethereal Altar.

In terms of enemies, Magolor fights the standard enemies from the Main Mode, with the notable addition of the [[Darpa]]s, [[Dippa]]s, [[Dupa]]s, and [[Deppa]]s from [[Another Dimension (level)|Another Dimension]], and other enemies bearing their [[Halcandra|Halcandran]] designs. There are, however, a number of distinct bosses based on bosses from the main story, as well as a new final boss:

==Areas and stages==
The main hub of Magolor Epilogue is subdivided into five "areas", four of which are named dimensions and the last being Ethereal Altar. These areas are analogous to levels in the Main Mode, though here a singular hub connects the entry points to stages from all levels. As Magolor clears each stage, he can progressively unlock more and more of the hub by dispelling obscuring clouds and gaining new skills that allow him to traverse certain barriers. Upgrading certain skills like Levitation is necessary to access certain stages, as well as obtain some hidden Magic Points in the hub itself. Each dimension has up to four numbered stages, a boss stage, and at least three extra stages. They are as follows:

*In the Japanese, English, Korean, and Chinese versions, the first letters of every area's unique name (with Ethereal Altar at the end) spell out "APPLE", referencing the Fruit Fragments becoming a Gem Apple sprout. Some liberties do need to be taken in the case of the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese versions in constructing this initialism:

*In a Miiverse post about ''[[Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe]]'', series director [[Shinya Kumazaki]] appears to have hinted at the premise of this mode. When talking about Magolor's role in the game, he said, "Magolor’s whereabouts are uncertain after Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, but he seems pretty lively here. After roaming around the dimension beyond space and time, he might’ve found an exit."<ref>[https://kirbydevpostarchive.tumblr.com/post/164953710086/hal-laboratory-%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%80-hallaboratory-01232015-427 Archive of the Miiverse post in question]</ref>

**Likewise, Kumazaki had previously stated in the July 2017 issue of ''Nintendo DREAM'' that Magolor from ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' is the same person as Magolor from the main series, which is explicitly confirmed in the ending of this mode.<ref>{{cite|ー 今作では、よろずやの店主として『星のカービィ Wii』のマホロアも登場していますよね。服の色がもともとの青ではなく緑になったのはなぜですか?<br>熊崎 まず、マホロアの色自体がプププ王国の世界観に合わないのがひとつです。消して正体を隠してカービィの前に現れているわけではありません(笑)。「ボクの名前はマホロア!」っていう所も含めてパラレルですね。『星のカービィ Wii』の物語に大きく関わったマホロアは人気が高いキャラクターですし、今作のマホロアと関係性が気になっていた方も多いかなと思いますが、パラレルではあるもののあくまでも本人としての登場になります。<br>''Interviewer: Magolor from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' also makes an appearance, doesn't he?

Magolor is a very popular character who was crucial to the story of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', and I'm sure many of you have wondered about his relationship to the Magolor of this game; even though it's a parallel ''[universe]'', he is the same person ''[lit.

*The Japanese subtitle for Magolor Epilogue, {{furi|異空|イクウ}}をかける{{furi|旅人|タビビト}} (''ikū wo kakeru tabibito'', "The Traveler Across Another Dimension"), is the same as the Japanese name of [[Distant Traveler (Dedede's Drum Dash)|Distant Traveler]], the final stage of [[Dedede's Drum Dash]], though the katakana and hiragana are flipped ({{furi|異空|いくう}}ヲカケル{{furi|旅人|たびびと}}). Likewise, the Korean subtitle for the epilogue is also identical to the Distant Traveler stage name from Dedede's Drum Dash. Consequently, the song "Distant Traveler" had its name retranslated to "Interdimensional Traveler".

*Interestingly, the opening cutscene shows [[Magolor Soul]] when flashing back to Magolor's defeat rather than [[Magolor (second form)|his Story Mode form]], even though Magolor Epilogue can be played before clearing Extra Mode.

*This mode does not contain any [[water (environment)|water]]. Its absence is most notable in the [[Locandra Dimension - Extra Stage|Extra Stage]], which modifies areas that originally had water in the main game to remove it.
